Interesting. I've never really ever had a problem with TB! consuming
an inordinate amount of CPU resources.

Things that come to mind and are worth checking:

- folder compression, especially for the Inbox and Outbox. Though
messages are filtered to other folders and most messages are
immediately sent, a copy of every incoming and outgoing message is
stored in those folders. If you don't compress them, TB! will soon
need to use a lot of resources to handle them.

- plugin use, especially antispam have been reportedly culpable for
problems as you're experiencing. The same goes for spam and antivirus
proxy software or those that monitor mail traffic before TB! gets at
it. NOD32 uses a Winsock scanner which causes a TB! memory leak on my
system. That same Winsock scanner was causing my mailserver to crash
while sending mail and then quickly manipulating IMAP mail. I used to
think it was TB! causing the server crashes.

- a mailbase that is problematic will have TB! spending an
inordinately long time with it.

- check your temp folder for overload. TB! uses the temp folder when
downloading messages and an overloaded temp folder will slow it down.
